Kangxi Grassland

Kangxi Grassland

Kangxi Grassland is a national AA-level tourist attraction.

Destination Introduction

Kangxi Grassland is located on the west side of Kangzhuang Township, Yanqing County, Beijing, by the Guanting Reservoir. It is the only natural grassland landscape within Beijing. The grassland stretches narrowly along the lakeshore from north to south, with winding waterways and lush green grass. The northern area is designated for fishing, the northwest for bonfire gatherings, while further south you’ll find camel and horse racing fields, and even further south lie the Mongolian yurt area and tent zone. The range of activities here is very rich: visitors can gallop on horseback to experience the bold and passionate spirit of nomadic peoples; go boating amid the lake and mountain scenery; fish or swim in the water; and summer evenings are perfect for holding bonfire parties.

Although the development of Kangxi Grassland’s tourism resources started relatively late and some facilities are still being improved, this does not deter visitors from enjoying nature.

In 1997, Kangxi Grassland was rated as a Capital Civilized Tourist Attraction.
